Virat Kohli’s Tweet for Anushka Sharma is ‘golden’

Earlier this year, Virat Kohli tweeted his disapproval when fans trolled his alleged girlfriend, Anushka Sharma for his poor performance in the T20 matches. Virat stood up for his lady love when Twitter went into the troll mode and blamed Anushka for distracting him by her presence during the matches.
